The largest-ever Land Back–Conservation deal in California is now complete. 🎉

More than 47,000 acres of ancestral lands along Blue Creek and the Klamath River have officially been returned to the Yurok Tribe—doubling their land holdings and marking a major win for cultural sovereignty and environmental restoration.

This milestone, completed in partnership with Western Rivers Conservancy, secures vital salmon habitat, protects sacred sites, and creates the Blue Creek Salmon Sanctuary and Yurok Tribal Community Forest, a powerful model for land stewardship rooted in Indigenous knowledge.

💧 Blue Creek is one of the most important cold-water refuges for salmon on the West Coast and spiritually significant to the Yurok people.

A couple of weeks ago, the Northern California Condor Restoration Program (NCCRP) (a partnership between the Yurok Tribe and Redwood National and State Parks) completed essential maintenance at the condor release site. 🛠️

The team replaced aging rooftop roosts with new Douglas fir and tanoak logs and removed invasive vegetation, all while working in daylight, a rare occurrence meant to keep both birds and crew safe. This provided a unique opportunity to capture new photos of the flock.

The NCCRP has released 17 condors since 2022, bringing this sacred and ecologically vital bird—prey-go-neesh—back to its ancestral range for the first time since 1892.
